There is a definite chill in the air so Beth’s Best is taking the girls outside with 18″ doll outdoor outfits. The girls just wanted to explore one of the local county parks that had some trails to walk and catch the last of the color blast along the treeline. Julia had gone to the county park last week with her family. Sunshine kept it from being too cold or wet. SH-VTJ was the perfect 18 inch doll outfit for her to wear. The 3 piece jeans set that fits American Girl dolls had long jeans, a pink 18″ long sleeve striped top and the cutest pink furry doll vest. This is a favorite of hers in her 18 inch doll clothes wardrobe because she loves to mix and match with other pieces of 18 inch doll clothing. When the three girls, Julia, Sophia and Catherine went together, they all wore their neon sweatshirts for 18 inch dolls, SPNSS, they bought for Halloween. The bright colors will keep them visible during their hike! Each of the girls wore long pants since they live in an area that is prone to Lyme Disease. SPJ-DN and SPJ-BK are denim jeggings and black jeggings that fit American Girl that were perfect to hike in. Sophia wore a heavier pair of olive skinny cargo pants for 18 inch dollsSPSJ-OL and they all felt comfy as well as protected. Where would you go on a cool crisp day this autumn? Enjoy the beautiful fall weather for as long as it lasts!!!

It seems that a very popular 18″doll costume is Dorothy, from the Wizard of Oz. Year after year, the blue gingham pinafore and infamous ruby red slippers are worn by dolls, children and adults! Beth’s Best wanted to feature this traditional and somewhat iconic costume for 18″ dolls. Catherine wanted to be Dorothy this year since she’s got a cuddly little dog that could serve as her Toto! She found the entire 5 piece costume including socks and shoes. QS-DRWO2, is an adorable 5 piece 18″ doll costume that easily replicates Dorothy from Kansas even down to her ankle socks and ruby slippers. The blue gingham apron pinafore dress has ruffle details at the shoulders and patch pockets and is worn over a crisp white white collared romper. The romper actually looks like a peter pan collared short sleeved shirt which is actually connected to shorts! Catherine loves this since she intends to be out trick or treating for hours and this costume is super comfy! Both pieces have a hook and loop closure in back. She will use the gingham scarf to cover her basket where she will keep a few treats for her pooch, LA-AP. She wants her mom to braid her hair and maybe Sophia can do french braids since her mom is still learning how to do them! To complete her 18″ doll costume, Catherine has white 18 inch doll lace trimmed ankle socks, DNSLA to wear with a pair of cool red glitter shoes for 18in dolls, SRS-RD. She is super excited to go house to house saying, “There’s no place like home” instead of trick or treat!

Now that the girls are fully immersed back at school, catching up between classes is sometimes all our gals get to do until the weekend. Sophia, Catherine and Julia met after lunch at their lockers to share some stories and some laughs! LA-L, their 18″ doll lockers are full to the brim with sporting gear, books and assorted stuff. While there was not a formal outfit coordination, it might as well have been “skirt day” at school as each of the gals was wearing an adorable 18 inch skirt outfit. Sophia loves this 2 piece skirt set for 18in dolls. This set features a long sleeve graphic tee shirt that fits most 18 inch dolls. The snow leopard face covers the entire front of the tee and a hook and loop closure makes it a snap to put on. Faux turquoise suede fabric is a great cool weather color and this 18in doll skirt had covered buttons in front and a scalloped hemline. Sophia’s doll shoes are very trendy and complement the turquoise skirt perfectly. S2T-CF are turquoise patent leather doll shoes that fit American Girl dolls. The “T” strap design, decorative bow and hook and loop closure allow this shoe to fit many 18″ dolls. But Sophia is in a hurry…grabbing her silver backpack and putting on her reading glasses, she promises to catch up with Julia and Catherine on Friday night. Catherine needs to remember to put away her owl lunch bag, which still has a granola bar inside! Her 2 piece 18″ doll skirt set, SH-ZT-HP, is a bit summery but Catherine is not yet accepting that the weather is changing! Inside her locker is her varsity jacket for 18in dolls which she needs in the morning waiting for the bus. She agreed to not wear sandals but ballet flats to help keep her feet a bit warmer! They look great with this outfit as well as some of the other more seasonal doll clothes she has in her wardrobe. Off to class, notebook in hand and books in her backpack, Catherine has just enough time to tell a funny story about someone in her math class with the hiccups that lasted all class! Julia is just going to study hall and doesn’t need to hurry off and she has lots to chat about! It will just have to wait until their sleepover this Friday, after the football game. In the meantime, Julia’s 18″ doll skirt outfitSH-DS-LT also has a long sleeve graphic tee (do you detect a theme?) and denim skirt with sequin trim. Her hot pink ballet flats are the perfect shoe to wear all year. The color pops and the bow detail makes these easy to dress up or down. So off to class they go, full of the tales of the day to make the Friday night sleepover a night to recap the week!

Beth’s Best highlights the girl’s first week back to school. Sophia, Catherine and Julia are all on the same bus and can’t wait to share the day’s experiences. Each of the girls chose a special outfit for their first day and each day for the remainder of the week, they chose their outfits together. They love sharing their 18 inch doll clothes. Because it is so chilly in the morning when she catches the bus, Sophia wanted to wear a sweatshirt she borrowed from Carly. SPHD-WH looked super cute over her embroidered tank top for 18″ dolls SPTT-HP-NE. As it warmed up during the day, she could just tuck it into her carry bag. Navy denim jeggingsSPJ-DN are always comfy and Sophia loves to just put them on with everything. No need to borrow these as she has several pair in her 18 inch doll clothes wardrobe. Wearing white patent flats for 18in dollsSUB-WH is her final hurrah before fall. She opted for a sport sackDNDB-ST in lieu of a traditional 18″ backpack for the first few days until she had to carry her books home! Julia’s look was very casual with her 18″ black sequin trimmed leggingsDNL-SQ-BK and chambray 18″ doll shirtSPDS-PB. Fortunately, Sophia was willing to let her borrow the shirt as long as she could use the owl lunch bag sometime! Casual ballerina flats for 18 in dolls are a must with all the walking she does getting to her classes. She chose SBFT-SL to keep her style neutral. Pink being one of her favorite colors, she loves her backpack, MABP-HP and owl lunch sackDNLB-PO. Catherine couldn’t wait to wear something more fall-like and chose something she purchased at the new boutique in town. The fray hem jeans for 18″ dolls were so trendy and the peplum hem knit 18in doll shirt so unique, she had to wear them during the first week of school. DRRHS-FJ was the perfect choice and she felt great wearing this 2 piece jeans set that fit American Girl dolls. All in all, the gals had a super first few days at school and feel that the school year is off to a great start. How were your first days back at school? Hoping that your school year is off to a great start too!

Beth’s Best is highlighting preseason soccer practice for our 18” dolls. As much as the girls are loving summer vacation, Sophia and Carly are looking forward to preseason soccer practice at the new middle school field. For now, they are only having practice once daily, but as the school year gets closer, there will be the dreaded “two-a-days”. This means early morning practice and a late afternoon practice and lots of icing in between! Today Carly’s mom drove Sophia and Carly to the fields. Carly was happy to be wearing last year’s jersey DRSO-ST. The bright star pattern jersey in this 18in doll 3 piece soccer outfit was fitting for the team name, The Superstars. Her feet didn’t grow much this summer so her last season’s black cleats for 18”dollsSSC still fit even under the heavy soccer socks, DNSK-BK. Sophia’s travel team uniform 3 piece soccer set for 18 inch dolls, DRSO-FS has a shimmery hot pink jersey which matched perfectly with the fuchsia 18” doll soccer shoesSSC-FS they wore.

Not long after being dropped off at the fields and going through the warm up exercises, the sky became very dark and it began to pour. Fortunately, Carly’s mom had been watching the weather and the afternoon practice was going to be a washout! While heading back up to the school, she stopped and picked up Julia and Catherine so that the girls could go to the movies. What a surprise to see Julia and Catherine running onto the field in their rain gear and umbrellas to help cover their friends from the pouring rain. Julia came all decked out in her 18in doll yellow raincoat slicker DRRC-YL and matching yellow patent rain boots for 18” dollsSSRW-YL. The colorful pastel plaid lining is just so adorable and compliments her JL-U-HP pink umbrella sized for American Girl dolls. She quickly got Carly underneath so that she wouldn’t get soaked! Catherine, in her purple poncho and plaid rubber welliesDRRP-PW, 2 piece outer wear set for 18 inch dolls, had Sophia underneath her pink polka dot umbrellaJL-U-PD in a flash, but Sophia knew she had a towel in her gym bag…probably now soaked too!!! What’s a little rain among friends! They would dry off in the movie theater. Can you guess what movie they saw?

Beth’s Best takes the 18″ dolls on a camping adventure. Carly’s parents have a small camper and invited Sophia and Catherine along for a few days in the great outdoors. They usually frequent a campground only a short 2 hr drive from their neighborhood. It has a super fun lake with a floating dock they can swim out to. Carly brought her spacious purple Coleman tent that fits American Girl dolls, JL-T-PU so that they can spend the night outdoors (away from the grown ups!) and stay up a bit later than usual laughing and telling stories. This 18″ doll tent will sleep all of them very comfortably and they can even stand up inside. Since the weather has been so hot, swimming, tubing and staying close to the lake was all the girls could think of. Coincidentally, bathing suits take up very little space in a backpack MABP-LP and will certainly be the preferred outfit throughout the weekend. Carly‘s 18 inch doll swimsuit felt a bit “dressy” for this trip but she adores it and wears it all of the time. DRBOS-BK is a black polka dot one piece 18″ doll swimsuit with a one shoulder decorative strap. She was very excited when she purchased it because they also had matching 18in doll flip flops STFF-BK and 18″ doll sunglasses, DNFSG-BK. She just loves the totally polka dot look! Sophia was the first into the lake and had a blast just bobbing around in her colorful inner tube for an 18″ doll JL-IT-SU. The royal purple color of her inner tube matches her one piece 18 inch doll swimsuitDRBRC-PU perfectly. The layers of ruffles on the suit seem to come to life in the water…let’s hope that doesn’t attract any critters that are living in the lake!!!! Dainty shoulder straps and ruffle trims make Catherine‘s one piece bathing suit for 18in dolls just as cute as can be. DRBSP-HP-IT came with it’s own inner tube and the color combinations in this 18″ doll clothes 2 piece bathing suit set work so well together. She adores the purples, blues and of course, pink with white polka dots! Seems to be a theme with these gals! So while they are out having a splashing good time, they have not forgotten the sunscreen and bug spray! Have fun…be safe!
